ToG backblast: it was like a Dream

Somebody has to take the blame for all this build up and it ending up a forfeit.

That’s true. I do. I fartsacked. Apparently at the next slack chat I’ll get some tips on setting an alarm.

I had already written the backblast in my head and it would be a disservice to the Pax (all Pax eye roll) not to publish something after this mornings debacle.

YHC woke to light this morning and knew I did the unthinkable. The phone rang a minute later and it was CI checking on me to make sure I was alive. Yes, I was and completely devastated. I made the concession call to the champion, Methane and went on my way.

But in reality what I wanted to do with this backblast is thank Methane. Every single one of these HIMs are incredible people, but I have always looked forward to seeing Methane at posts and HDHH, basically anywhere F3 occurs.

Since I started, I have met a lot of people. Hundreds in fact, but those first few coffeeteria, I seemed to talk to him the most. Funny thing, that’s what really keeps me going. Those 2 minutes before the WO and the few minutes after, I always seek him out. And if have never worked out next to him, you need to. Best mumble chatter in the biz.

I can honestly say that one, if not all, of the statements he made in his backblast are true. I look at him as a brother. We started a few days apart and I have been looking up at him ever since.

So what I was hoping to do at COT was say this: Thank You, Methane. I can honestly say that you are a huge reason that I have the motivation to keep coming out. (when I set my alarm)
